I have discovered audible books recently as well, though, and am enjoying that as long as I can remember to do it. Currently listening to "Behave: The Biology of Humans at Our Best and Worst" by Robert Sapolsky, Bible in a year (NLT edition) with occasional dips into Asimov's print books on the bible, "Stranger In A Strange Land" by Heinlein, and "War Of The Worlds" by H.G. Wells.
For many years, since college, I've studiously avoided fiction and stuck to non-fiction books only. However I'm finding the Heinlein and Wells books to be the most engaging, with Behave taking up the rear. Maybe I'll stick to written books for nonfiction, and use audible to explore fiction. I'm in my trial period now, so I don't want to go wild buying a bunch of books, but old habits die hard. I've always had a habit of reading 6 or so books at the same time, and I guess I'm the same way with audible books. I wonder if I would get a discount on the kindle version of Behave. Worth a look.
I re-listened to a memoir and since I like the author's story I started looking around. Found that she writes some fiction that I like and I enjoy the narrator she uses.
I found that if I listen to a book I like, I can find more buy Goggling - books like 'XYZ' and have had good luck finding other authors and books.
Since I am busy with cutting fabric, pinning, ironing, and sewing I really don't have enough hands, or eyes, to read a book.
